Areas of impact

Innovative Technology to Solve Agricultural Challenges: By exploring new technological frontiers, Solinftec helps changing the way food is produced in the field. The Company works closely with clients and other partners to tackle challenges of farm production, including climate change and food security. Technological solutions offered by Solinftec provide farmers with real-time actionable insights related to planting, spraying, fertilizing, and harvesting to increase yields, which improve productivity by both increasing crop yield and lowering costs. Solinftec’s solutions can contribute to an increase of 30%+ in productivity and efficiency by its clients.

 

Sustainable Land Management: Real-time monitoring solutions allow for more precise and reduced application of agrochemicals that can be damaging to humans, animals and the environment. By using Solinftec’s solutions, farmers are able to apply agrochemicals within specified parameters, reducing unnecessary repetition of application in the field, product loss, and environmental impact.

Resilience and Adaptation for Farmers: Climate variability accounts for one-third of the fluctuation in agricultural productivity worldwide. In the scope of adaptation and resilience, the implementation of climate warning systems is key. By providing climate-related information and other data, solutions offered by Solinftec optimize the use of agrochemicals and fertilizers, reducing spreads to neighboring farms, misapplication of products and crop loss.

Connectivity in Rural Areas: In Brazil, 70%+ of rural properties do not have access to the internet. Solinftec is a founding member of the ConectarAGRO association, which aims at expanding connectivity in rural areas in the country. The initiative allows farmers to use, in a complementary way, the resources already available from precision agriculture and digital farming with new products and services enabled by connectivity. Solinftec contributes with its own expertise and experience to foster a favorable ecosystem for innovation, improving and developing the conditions for increased connectivity in the field.

Mitigating Climate Change: Agriculture is among the largest contributors to climate change, being the world’s second-largest source of greenhouse gas emissions. Technology is a key driver of sustainable agriculture, optimizing farming processes and use of resources, including fossil fuels and agrochemicals, which reduce greenhouse gas emissions and environmental impact.
